Build with Go

Heavily influenced by C and partly inspired by Python, Go offers features to better utilize modern computing power, including networked, multicore machines, as well as larger codebases. It is open source and its lightweight processes, called goroutines, are ideally suited to web development and microservices, but is also an excellent choice for network server applications. Go is an excellent match for the reliability and scalability inherent in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure!

What is Go? Why is it important?

Go is an open source, compiled, procedural programming language designed to be highly readable, like Python and JavaScript, but also highly efficient and scalable, borrowing many concepts from C. Its high-performance networking and multi-processing support as well as overall simplicity have made it increasingly popular with backend developers. These resources will help you get Go-ing on Oracle Cloud.
